Yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings players reported for the first day of offseason workouts. The team also finally finalized the coaching staff. I can’t recall the Vikings ever announcing the final coaching staff this late. This year, there were more tweaks than changes. The departures were assistant offensive coordinator/assistant quarterbacks coach Grant Udinski and assistant offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett. Both are continuing their coaching progression with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kevin O’Connell plucked Jordan Traylor from the New Orleans Saints to replace Udinski. Former Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line coach Keith Carter was hired to replace Sarrett. The other changes on the coaching staff were in-house tweaks. Assistant Head Coach Mike Pettine had been filling in as the outside linebackers coach since late in the 2023 season. He will now focus on his Assistant Head Coach tasks. Assistant inside linebackers coach Thad Bogardus was promoted to the outside linebackers coach. Assistant defensive line coach Patrick Hill will assist with that position group. Defensive assistant Imarjae Albury Sr. will replace Hill as assistant defensive line coach. So, there was some shuffling among the defensive coaches. The newcomer among the defensive coaches is quality control coach Chenzo Funari. He arrives from the college ranks. Prior to that, he was literally a rocket scientist. Interesting career change.
